Chapter 4111 The Retinue Sent by the Crimson Grand Duke
After all, that's the person Li Guo is currently the most favored by.
This conspiracy may have been driven by jealousy or the effects of alcohol, but whatever the reason, once the idea was formed, it became irresistible.
However, their target was Li Guo's officially announced girlfriend, and the group knew very well the consequences of angering Li Guo.
"After tonight, let's try not to meet. Even if we contact each other, it can only be done secretly!"
With the tone set, the next step was to figure out how to carry out the operation... Several former male escorts quickly left the upscale club.
It's not easy to get the assassins from [Black God's Blade] to come, and it's urgent; they've gone to raise funds.
Of course, the best way to raise funds is to recruit more people to form a team, but obviously the fewer people who know about this, the safer it is.
After all, if Li Wei were really killed, these people would know immediately and rush back to His Highness's side to offer their concern and care...
The group dispersed.
One of the male escorts secretly went to another private club. After undergoing a thorough check, he was taken to a dimly lit room.
The moment he stepped into the room, he... Sherman broke out in a cold sweat.
Inside the room, three muscular men, one of whom was even a genetically modified beastman, were kneeling on the ground, wearing straitjackets and blindfolds.
A woman wearing a leather jacket, with short green hair, was wielding a barbed leather whip and was repeatedly lashing three men.
Sherman stood silently to the side, head down, his face gradually soaked with sweat.
The whipping became increasingly brutal until the three men finally passed out... The woman in the leather jacket let out a long, satisfying sigh.
Soon, several masked men came in and carried away the three unconscious men.
The woman then slowly approached Sherman and gently lifted his chin with the whip in her hand. "Is the matter settled?"
“Yes, yes, Argey…” Sherman replied in a trembling voice.
"Hmm?" The woman gave a light, displeased "hmm."
Sherman panicked and cried out, "Your Majesty!"
The Queen casually lashed her whip across Sherman's handsome face, instantly revealing a terrifying, centipede-like wound.
Sherman endured the pain, his fear reaching its peak.
The Queen said calmly, "Tell me what happened."
Sherman dared not hide anything and told them everything about the gathering of the male servants, "...When I saw that the time was about right, I followed your instructions and revealed my intention to kill Levi, and they didn't even hesitate."
“You’ve done very well, Sherman.” The Queen smiled with satisfaction.
Sherman asked nervously, "Your Majesty, what am I to do next?"
"I will give you the contact information for [Black God's Blade] here," the [Queen] said calmly. "The funds will also be transferred to you through a private account, but only a portion of them."
Sherman nodded. "I understand. I'll also contribute some funds. We can't let those guys get away with this."
As for how much to pay, Sherman thought only he himself knew.
"Remember not to reveal your identity," the Queen said calmly.
Sherman gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty, after this is done, you...you really will help me get back to His Highness's side."
The Queen did not answer directly, but simply said, "Your Highness does not need people of unknown origin who are disobedient."
Sherman took a deep breath. "You will be the one I pledge my loyalty to."
After saying that, Sherman gritted his teeth, knelt down on the ground, and slowly crawled toward the Queen.
A long whip lashed out swiftly, striking Sherman directly on the back.
"Get lost, I'm not in the mood today," the Queen said coldly.
"Yes……"
After Sherman left in pain, the Queen calmly instructed, "After this is over, deal with him as well."
In the darkness, a deep voice slowly responded.
……
……
The exhibition will last for three days.
Boss Luo showed up on the first day, then again on the second day, but didn't come back on the third day.
The number of orders coming in was overwhelming, and on the third day, the Imperial Ministry of Commerce even sent a specialist to discuss procurement matters... Most of the time, the transformation potion is used for amusement, so who knows what the Imperial Ministry of Commerce is going to do with it?
This matter was left to Li Huamei to handle... Brother Shak, who couldn't sit at the table to eat, also went to run errands.
Another boring day...
Long Xiruo was sunbathing alone in the courtyard, pondering whether she should go and give that tool persona, Vara, a naughty look, a naughty look.
Hoo-ha...
A yawn was heard.
It was Bai Zhi, who was feeding two cubs of the White Wolf Dragon... For some reason, little Bai Zhi had been wearing a white lace eye mask lately.
Long Xiruo was a little curious, but she didn't ask any more questions... What if it was just a peculiar quirk of that annoying guy?
Hua Mei's bodycon skirt was also...
"What have you been doing these past few days? You've been listless every day."
Long Xiruo couldn't help but ask curiously.
Xiao Baizhi's ears burned slightly. She had been sneaking out for special training every night, but she couldn't seem to do it well. Last night, she almost got caught again.
—【Xia Ji】Sister, please come back soon, waaaaah…
"No, it's nothing, I might just be having a bit of insomnia," Bai Zhi quickly replied. "Miss Long, you don't need to worry about me... By the way, aren't you going to practice your social etiquette with your master today?"
Bai Zhi tilted her head. Yesterday evening, Miss Youye went out and bumped into Miss Long coming out of the study in a panic.
When asked what she did, she said she was practicing social etiquette.
“Shooting... I'm not practicing today.” The true dragon of Shenzhou looked up at the sky. “Your boss isn’t very good. I’m never practicing again.”
Bai Zhi blinked her bright eyes curiously, "Master, how is that possible? Master is the most powerful!"
—Of course I know how powerful that deadbeat is…
"I said yes, so what? Stop with all this nonsense! Get down!" The true dragon of Shenzhou suppressed with its massive hand, directly pinching Bai Zhi's little head.
*Sobbing*
Weak, helpless...incompetent.
Long Xiruo suddenly released her grip, frowned, and looked outside the courtyard... Noticing Miss Long's unusual behavior, Bai Zhi subconsciously asked, "Miss Long, what's wrong?"
"Shh...it sounds like someone's coming." Long Xiruo frowned and walked straight to the courtyard gate.
……
Standing in front of the courtyard gate was a man with a cold expression, dark skin, and a meticulous demeanor.
The true dragon of Shenzhou could sense the danger lurking beneath the man's coldness... She couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
"Sir, who are you?"
As a full-time maid, Bai Zhi took the initiative to step forward and ask.
The man nodded politely. "My name is Venus. May I ask if this is the residence of young master Levi? I have been sent by my master to pay a visit. Please pass on his message."
"The owner of the venue?" Long Xiruo frowned.
Venus said calmly, "[Crimson Grand Duke]".
Long Xiruo and Bai Zhi exchanged a glance... The one called Grand Duke is probably some nobleman from Marindo, right?
"Okay, please wait a moment." Bai Zhi nodded and jogged back.
Long Xiruo continued to observe from the shadows without saying a word... Soon, Bai Zhi returned, and was even more polite, directly inviting Mr. Venus inside.
……
Inside the study, Boss Luo was also sizing up Venus.
In his hand, he was holding a document sent by the Crimson Duke, detailing the demon boy's background, experiences, even all his battle records in the arena, and the final price.
"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Venus." Boss Luo casually put the documents aside. "Does Mr. Lin Yuan have anything else to say?"
Standing on the edge of the abyss...
Venus was slightly startled. Very few people knew the name "Crimson Grand Duke," and even he... had only learned of it after a long period of hard work and promotion to arena manager.
However, he only knew the name "Lin Yuan" and was completely unaware of the origins of "Crimson Grand Duke".
"The owner said that after meeting you, I should stay by your side and await your orders," Venus stated directly, explaining his purpose.
He had actually arrived in Marindo a few days ago.
However, he hasn't been in a hurry to come these past few days because before he left, the Crimson Duke didn't give him a specific timeframe... but obviously, he can't delay too long.
Venus was again silently observing the name and movements of "Livi Titus." Clearly, this wasn't the real "Livi Titus"...
“Hmm…” Boss Luo nodded.
He then remained silent, as if deep in thought.
Venus waited patiently.
At this moment, the maid smiled slightly and poured Venus a cup of black tea.
"Mr. Lin Yuan, did you tell me my identity?" Boss Luo suddenly asked.
“No,” Venus said calmly. “The owner merely instructed me to become your attendant.”
"Are you willing?" Boss Luo asked directly.
"I will strictly follow the owner's orders."
Boss Luo nodded, then glanced at the maid, "Let's arrange a room for Mr. Venus first."
"Okay." The maid smiled slightly.
Venus secretly breathed a sigh of relief; at least their first meeting hadn't turned into anything unpleasant.
He dared not show the slightest disrespect.
As the master of the [Void Arena], the arena owner is an unparalleled being in the void. Even among giants who are also super forces in the void, the arena owner has never sent out the arena manager.
This young master, Li Wei, is clearly not a simple person.
Even the Miss Long he encountered upon entering was enough to make him secretly alarmed, let alone the maid who had politely poured him red tea earlier…
Venus even had a feeling as if she were facing the arena owner...
He had a vague idea in his mind.
……
No sooner had the maid led Venus away than Little Angelica arrived.
"Master, there is a lady from Mercedes outside looking for you," Bai Zhi said quickly. "It seems to be the young lady from the [Babilon] family. She has come to ask you to take over the manor."
“The manor…” Boss Luo nodded, “Let her wait a moment.”
……
……
This time, Boss Luo only took Bai Zhi with him when he went out.
On Mercedes' private spaceship.
Mercedes was as beautiful as the epitome of a noble lady in a textbook. She looked curiously at Bai Zhi standing behind Boss Luo.
"Mr. Li Wei, the person behind you... could he also be a member of the imperial family?"
"Angelica is just naturally like that," Boss Luo said casually.
Mercedes smiled slightly and did not press the matter further... Green hair is indeed one of the hallmarks of royalty, but that doesn't mean that no one outside the royal family has naturally green hair.
This stuff can be used for both dyeing and perming.
"The restoration work on the manor was completed yesterday," Mercedes said softly. "As per His Highness Anle's request, the manor has now been transferred to your name. Here are the documents for the transfer of ownership; please take a look."
Boss Luo took the property ownership certificate and looked at it carefully.
Perhaps it's a professional instinct, but he always reads contractual documents very carefully.
Mercedes then carefully observed this [Levi Titus], wondering what kind of magic he possessed that could make Li Guo so infatuated.
She found some quickly.
In terms of looks alone, this [Levi Titus] is actually somewhat inferior to Leonardo DiCaprio... probably just average among male escorts?
But there is one thing that none of the male attendants can match: nature.
All the male escorts, including Leonardo, seemed too industrialized.
As she looked at it, Mercedes became somewhat lost in thought, as if she had accidentally dug up a rough stone covered in silt in a riverbed, wiped it clean, and then glimpsed a glimmer of its precious light. She then became so engrossed in cleaning all the silt off that she couldn't stop herself.
Let this gem be fully revealed to the world.
Could it be those so-called succubi from the [Magic Side]?
"The property certificate is all set." Boss Luo closed the document and smiled slightly. "Thank you for your gift, Lord [Babilon]. As we discussed that day, I will prepare a return gift as well."
Mercedes chuckled lightly, not caring... Her family was extremely large, so naturally they looked down on these things, but she didn't refuse either.
Mercedes then chatted casually with Boss Luo.
This was the most common way for nobles to communicate, sharing preferences, interests, or interesting anecdotes.
"Oh? Is Mr. Levi also a fan of Miss Sheryl?" Mercedes asked with curiosity.
Bai Zhi also looked curious. When did her master say that? Was this woman just making conversation because she had nothing else to say...?
"I've only heard some of Ms. Sheryl's songs," Mr. Luo shook his head.
Actually, the maid can sing too, but she has never shown it to outsiders... Boss Luo feels that the maid's singing voice is more beautiful.
Mercedes smiled slightly and said, "Miss Sheryl will be holding a meet-and-greet at the Royal Academy. I wonder if Mr. Levi would be interested?"
Boss Luo glanced at the other person calmly.
Mercedes chuckled, "If you could invite His Highness Anle to come along, Miss Sheryl would surely be very grateful, and perhaps she could even sing a song for him."
"Let me ask," Boss Luo nodded.
Then he took out a communicator and, without any regard for Mercedes' presence, contacted Li Guo directly.
Mercedes frowned slightly.
For the royal family... especially the most important members, their movements need to be monitored at all times.
If she remembered correctly, Li Guo should be in the Imperial Cardinal Council at this time, attending a regular meeting... She suddenly felt that Li Wei was being a bit insensible.
"Li Wei...you, you were looking for me?"
The communicator connected after a few moments... Mercedes' heart skipped a beat, and a hint of shock flashed in her eyes.
The background... the background is indeed the Council of Cardinals, and the meeting is definitely not over yet, nor is it a break or anything like that—it looks like it's in a corridor?
Li Guo actually came out of the meeting?
Moreover, judging from Li Guo's voice at this moment, there seemed to be a slight hint of unease...
Mercedes subconsciously shifted her body, trying to avoid appearing in front of the camera.
"There's a meet-and-greet about Miss Sheryl. Would you be interested in attending?" Boss Luo asked with a smile.
Li Guo was silent for a moment, then asked, "You want me to go?"
"It depends on whether you have time," Boss Luo said casually, as if they were friends.
"Yes." Li Guo's voice was slightly cheerful, but then it turned serious, as if carrying her usual questioning tone, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the [Galaxy Fairy] meet-and-greet?"
Mercedes narrowed her eyes; this was the Li Guo she knew.
She didn't even need Levi Titus to actually attend the meet-and-greet; she only needed to create a little bit of discontent, and she had already gained something today.
“If you want to go, then go.” Boss Luo smiled slightly, glancing at Mercedes behind the projection screen. “I’ve had some time in [Marindo], so I might as well visit the Royal Academy.”
Mercedes was a little nervous under that gaze, afraid that this guy would mention her name—this guy contacted Li Guo right in front of her, which was really unexpected!
Fortunately, the other party did not mention anything about him at this time... even the meeting was just about him wanting to visit the academy.
"Alright then." Li Guo nodded. "I'll have someone pick you up then... Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
Boss Luo shook his head.
Li Guo abruptly cut off the communication.
……
In the Cardinals' meeting room, when the door opened again, His Highness Anle walked towards his seat with a cold face.
The meeting stopped abruptly the moment the prince suddenly stood up and walked straight out.
"continue."
Li Guo sat down, his voice cool and aloof.
But those familiar with His Highness could tell that he was clearly upset about something and was angry.
